This photo made me cry.

I have 4 kids. I think about this all the time:

What about our children’s futures?

Don’t let these protests be in vain.

Stay strong.

Stay unified.

Grow our presence.

Fight

Back.

I spent the first two decades of my adult life traveling through the United States. It always made me angry when people would snear at small cities in red states. It's been hard to defend them lately, but images like this restore my faith in the little blue dots in the sea of red.

It’s simply excercising first amendment rights. There’s no need to register, no need to have any agenda other than opposition to any tactics of governance you don’t agree with. No goals other than a loose statement that we won’t stand silent while the country slips into autocracy.

GulfofKansas @jboy46.bsky.social · 2d

My opinion only, the sum of all rallies is the point. Many rallies are as important as large rallies. Go, meet and make or support friends in your community. It gives you hope and direction to participate in one of the key freedoms afforded all citizens of our great nation. Would be great to see you

Not reposting the nonsense from the right about how Saturday's march is ANTI-AMERICAN! SOROS-FUNDED!

What they're saying is so nonsensical that it reeks of desperation.

They're scared of a simple display of mass opposition.

Bring your American flags, folks.
It's a pro-America, pro-democracy march

For the record, there are 380 Kansans that registered as Oathkeepers. There are several underground militias here as well. Roger Marshall’s speech goes right to their reasoning.

Ok, attending my 4th NoKings/50501 ralley Saturday. Heard my state senator bloviating and made the second contact in all my many years. No matter your stance on issues, now is the time to put that on record IMHO. Go for it

If Homan did not accept the money, show the video. If he did accept the money, explain how that’s not a bribe. Simple! We’re listening. #HomanBribeVideo?

GulfofKansas @jboy46.bsky.social · 4d

Other option, flood the area with so many phones a human followup would be problematic. We are the majority, that’s the point of the excercise. More important to tell elected not to call it “hate speech” and chum the waters for violence with ridiculous unfounded claims. #RogerMarshallShouldRetract

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

GulfofKansas @jboy46.bsky.social · 5d

A great moment spoiled by saber rattling, insults to former presidents, and general narcissistic blather. You were on stage for a significant moment by chance, you should have done better by us all but even that can’t spoil the moment. Buy some grace with your grift.

So ICE is wearing a lot of camo. Maybe they should consider wearing inflatables if they eant to hide better in Portland. #ICEisOuttaControl

So if you “hated America” as Speaker Johnson states, you might put a foreign country’s air force base inside the continental US, especially if that country was suspected of sponsoring real anti-US terrorist organization. Not rail about peaceful 1st amendment excercises…

I made an ad for the October 18 #NoKings events for @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social, and it's coming out on Monday.

Should I be worried? 😃

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

I’ll be attending my 4th No Kings peaceful rally. This time our Kansas Senator Roger Marshall has increased the likelihood of an incedent occurring by falsely stating it is a “hate” rally run by “antifa” funded by Soros and he will send in the National Guard. That COULD trigger a nutjob. SHAME!!

GulfofKansas @jboy46.bsky.social · 7d

In a state with an overabundace of guns and several militia groups, Senator Roger Marshall calling the 4th peaceful No Kings Protest a “hate” group, using the republican pejorative “antifa” and threatening calling out the.National Guard puts his constituents at higher risk. #RogerMarshallIsWrong

I’ve attended 3 No Kings rallies at our state capital. Peaceful, funny, and everyone quietly protesting our present administration. No Soros, no “antifa”, no violence. Then our senator Marshall, a Trump syncophant with no interest in representing constituents threatens sending in the guard. Sad!!!
